Mariah
(Lead Client Service Representative)Mariah (lead CSR) was born and raised right here in Denver, Colorado, and her passion for both people and animals shines through in everything she does. Although she’s just beginning her journey in the veterinary field this year, Mariah brings over three years of hands-on experience working with animals and hopes to one day become a veterinary technician—or even a veterinarian!
When she’s not at the front desk helping our clients and their pets, you can find Mariah out in nature, hiking Colorado’s beautiful trails with her pup, Snowy the Chipoo. She has a special place in her heart for senior dogs and loves being part of a team that helps animals live their happiest, healthiest lives.
Nick
(Registered Veterinary Technician)Hi, I’m Nick! When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me out on a hiking trail or casting a line, or at home in the kitchen cooking up something new alongside my girlfriend — and our two very important sous chefs, our cat Beans, and our dog Rocket. As a fellow pet parent, I know how much your fur babies mean to you — and that’s exactly why I got into this field.
Nick is a Registered Veterinary Technician with 10 years of experience, bringing a calm, steady presence to even the most high-pressure situations. Rooted in emergency medicine, Nick has built a reputation for his compassionate approach to patient care and a genuine dedication to client education and helping pet owners feel informed, supported, and heard. Fear Free Certified, he believes that how an animal experiences veterinary care matters just as much as the care itself. Nick thrives in collaborative environments where integrity and compassion guide every decision, and he brings that same warmth and professionalism to every patient and team he works with.
